Violence. Thank you for joining us one month on from the corona virus being declared a pandemic the World Health Organization is warning countries not to become complacent as a global death toll surpasses 100000 the head of the w. H. O. Says lifting restrictions could lead to a deadly resurgence more than 1600000 people have been infected since the outbreak was detected in china late last year the current hot spot the u. S. Has reported its highest single day toll 2108 deaths half a 1000000 americans are infected with the virus the hardest hit state new york is conducting mass burials but there is a glimmer of hope across europe as its lead germany spain and france have seen the rate of infections slow down. Now even though the u. S. Has recorded more deaths than any other country in one day President Trump believes the death toll will be noir than what experts are predicting were seeing hospital admissions declining very substantially as i said a nationwide the number of new cases per day is flattening substantially suggesting that we are near the peak and our comprehensive strategy is working overtime or guidelines to slow the spread or decreasing the rate of new cases very substantially and will result in fewer hospital admissions and were seeing that its. Incredible i think with the with no exceptions its looking like its low. Has aljazeera as john hendren with this update from chicago. 500000 cases half a 1000000 and a 3rd of them alone in new york state that is 172. 00 cases there now has only 0. 15 percent of the u. S. Population thats 327000000 but really we dont have a comprehensive testing system here in the u. S. So that is probably just a fraction of the actual number but we do know that some of our 18000 people have died as you mentioned that crossed the 2000 mark on a daily basis for the 1st time on friday the 1st case just to take you back happened in Washington State on january 20th and that viruses moved quickly the administration estimated on friday that it would be peak on Easter Sunday that is this coming sunday since march 26th the u. S. Has had more cases than any other country on earth and by march 31st President Trump made a grim estimate saying 1000022400 extension 00 americans would die before the coronavirus pandemic was over now thats less than the 2200000. 00 that the administration estimates would have died had nothing been done no statewide shutdowns no business closures that sort of thing but on friday the administration dial that back saying the number would likely now be less than 100000 possibly as low as 60000 but that plan demick has canceled every major event in the United States that china is where it all began the virus was detected in the city of in december 29000. 00 after more than 3000. 00 deaths and a month after has declared a Global Pandemic chinas not easing restrictions but as katrina your reports from beijing neighboring countries are still battling the contagion. Celebrations outside one hospital the city where the virus 1st emerged at the beginning of march china appeared to have passed the worst of its corona Virus Outbreak president xi jinping visited the epicenter and who by province touting a downward trend in infections in hong kong Public Servants began to return to work and in south korea leaders expressed cautious optimism as clusters of infections linked to a church in daegu city came under control and in taiwan and singapore infections remained lower birth governments were praised for controlling numbers without confining people to their homes experts say admitting patients to hospital early helped many Asian Countries curb fatalities as well as. Trees. And as cover 1000 cases rose in the middle east and the west much of asia closed its borders imported cases became the main threat japan however was an exception a spike in cases that saw the Tokyo Olympics perspired until 2021 in china and many parts of asia life is slowly returning to. The countries such as the philippines and indonesia experts say the worst is still to come and as much of the world remains locked down tens of millions who by province have finally emerged from there as their message to the outside during dark times the ruled will once again be bright katrina you aljazeera beijing or the pandemic has put the spotlight on asias wet markets and the risk for a pols scientists believe the corner virus originated in a marketing war on a warning that viewers may find some of the images in this report disturbing jessica washington reports from jakarta. Before his customers arrive palace ponto spends the morning preparing his most popular dish its called a traditional best meat curry popular in some parts of indonesia hes followed this recipe for decades but the recent outbreak of covert 19 has got him worried so the beginning of a ive been reading the news about this virus i wonder is it the same type of bat that we use ive never worried about disease until now maybe it has to do with how we prepare the meat. The trade of live wild animals for food medicine clothing and more has gone on for years but as the world grapples with the outbreak of coma 19 the risk it poses to Public Health is now under scrutiny. Its believed the virus most likely emerged from this market in ruhani probably involving bats but also possibly other animals such as penguins the market in rouhani is still closed and the beijing government has issued a temporary ban on similar live wildlife markets elsewhere in china but there are many similar markets around asia trading wild animals like this one in indonesia north so the way i see province thats snakes and other wildlife as well as dogs and cats are all sold here and live in cages stacked on top of each other. When you have different animals in such close contact it is possible for cross species infections to happen other diseases can also be transferred between species and then infect a human. Ending the exotic wildlife trade completely is almost impossible many peoples livelihoods depend on it and the trade goes on in many corners of the world Animal Rights activists say Wildlife Conservation isnt just about saving animals lives but humans too. People have exploited nature and wildlife they catch them from spaces where they should be free when you combine that with poor hygiene of markets it is a risk a lot is still unknown about this virus and exactly how it began but what is clear is that this isnt just a Global Health crisis but an environmental one too jessica washington sirrah jakarta brazil has become the latest country to record more than a 1000 deaths from the coronavirus its the hardest hit nation in latin america but despite this president jaber also now remains defiant and is ignoring the advice about social distancing.

As sent to other news now and. In the democratic republic of congo have suffered a setback the 1st person to contract the disease in more than 50 days. His death comes just 3 days before the country was to declare the 20 month break over saying in africa chants president says his countrys troops will no longer take part in military operations outside National Borders the army ended a major offensive against the koran which left more than 50 chinee and soldiers dead. The announcement was made on National Television the president. And then seeing that no charging troops will be deployed outside of chad and this comes just after the president led on the ground in the offensive against books in the lake chad area days ago he knows that he was frustrated with his counterparts the nigerian president. And the nigerians troup inability to tackle boko haram in the region is the 2nd largest contributor in troops in the Un Peacekeeping stabilizing force in mali where armed groups such as al qaeda affiliates. And islam extend in the greater sahara are stepping up their operation and so the country in the sun hill region is at a Tipping Point france is struggling it has launched several aerial operation 83. 00 in the last week to try to stem the violence but the announcement that child is pulling out its troops doesnt bode well for the good for the region and there is fear that there could be more violence as chargin troops return home. For him laurence is a professor at the American University school of International Service he explains whats behind the decision and how it will affect. The morale of the chatting troops quite low theres a number of domestic issues including a prison riot related to cope that may team and certainly the streets restrict the him there were about 6000 troops chanting troops around the late 700 had to be read a verdict from mali back to late chad and then there was this large defeat about 2 weeks ago where chad had its largest troop loss in one day ever about 100 troops and that and thats why this operation went forward but its a city ship redeployment back towards chads sovereign territory to try to guess moving more of a defense mode in and often smote against kind of terrorist groups and the attention to a number of domestic issues certainly there will be a. Serious negotiations between all of the separate countries involved in countering the 3 terrorist organizations in the area to figure out who will do what because the terrorists dont care about borders and they crisscross across them easily the french are bombing in the area theres americans there at the so theres a lot of up afterwards that will be ongoing wherever chad puts their troops but certainly the coordination will have to improve and also if i may add this sort of pulls the legs out from under the infrastructure of all these international of multinational operations that are going on so theres a big question Going Forward about who will be doing what if the chat chatting army which was the 2nd largest player in all of these 3 zones of conflict pulled all of its troops out. The worlds top Oil Producing nations have agreed on the need to stop the lies of rise of oil which has been hit by the coronavirus spend demick Energy Ministers of the worlds 20 largest economies discussed a deal by Video Conference that follows says is agreement by the oil cartel opec and its allies to cut Global Production by 10 percent but the pact was told to mexico failed to agree to its share of const President Trump has since said the u. S. Will further reduce its output to help mexico Jeff Goldblum is a professor of Political Science at Brown University and author of petro aggression when Oil Causes War he says its unrealistic to believe the opec deal will go on markets overnight. Oil markets have actually fallen on news of the deal as opposed to rising as opec plus had hoped that it would happen they were looking for a boost of up to 15. 00 a barrel and in fact prices are going into reverse and thats striking because i think theres really 2 things that are happening because of whats happening here one is that while the deal does contain some substantive cuts most of whats being announced are socalled market cuts meaning that these are the kinds of things are going to happen deal or no deal these are decisions made by individual producers reacting to the change in Market Conditions that are you know ramping down because of Lower Oil Prices so in some sense that this is more hype than real substance and the 2nd thing that matters for the prices is the fact that there is a can persistent overhang in supply so the expected shortfall in demand over the next 2 months is Something Like 25. 00 to 30000000. 00 barrels a day and this deal is 10. 00 to 15000000. 00 barrels a day so it only goes part of the way to addressing that massive demand shock were can continuing to see oversupply and thats going to drive prices likely downwards as inventory continue to build it is significant in the sense that saudi arabia and a few of the gulf monarchies are changing their strategy to certain degree but much of whats happening here as i said is market cut this is going to happen anyway especially in the United States. Tensions between poland and russia are rising ahead of events planned to mark the end of world war 2 all and is accusing russia of trying to rewrite history as it remembers of thousands of polish officers murdered by soviet secret police 80 years ago set and reports on the katine forest where the massacre took place. In this russian forest mass graves filled with bodies of polish officers were discovered in 1943 now a memorial site it shows the truth soviet leader Joseph Stalin always denied he blamed what is known as the cut the massacre on hitlers troops only after the collapse of the soviet union did russia acknowledge the estimated 22000. 00 executions were carried out by Stalin Secret police. But leading up to the 80th anniversary of the massacre statements on russian state t. V. Have again started to question this because an angry response from poland. And local activists have also demanded the removal of memorial plaques remembering the polish victims no one is allowed to kill untrue things about history and we will prove one by one moment in the mountains or other things but do you say to poland when they say you are rewriting history and changing the fact we. Disagree with it because we dont rewrite dont you think 80 years after the cutting massacre its still causes controversy between russia and poland russia is preparing to celebrate the 75th anniversary of its victory in world war 2 but a government is being accused of changing historical facts by promoting a narrative that always is dark truth and critics say president putin is not only angering his neighbors but is also turning back the clock on recounts alleviation when the European Parliament last year stated that the soviet union was asking the as nazi germany for starting the 2nd world war president putin responded with anger he blamed poland instead accusing the polish a massacre to nazi germany of being anti semitic. This is not a question to us this is the question to them why are they doing it what do they created for what does poland have when it advances a thesis that reportedly the us is or was equally good. Installing the 2nd world war but this is absurd we didnt asked me to 27000000 deaths the soviet union lost more people during world war 2 than any other nation the defeat of the ninetys in 1945 is commemorated every year with a parade in moscow threats square but some say put into obsession with the history of world war 2 has everything to do with modern day politics. Russia doesnt have anything else to offer a total failure in economy social policy stagnation and destruction of our National Culture therefore the only thing possible is to use some myths about outstanding achievements from the past beginning of course about the price that was paid who started it how the leadership acted and they acted awfully the russian government has not officially changed its conclusion that stalin was responsible for the captain massacre but sources have told our 0 day belief that without the support of top officials attempts to rewrite this dark chapter would not have been possible to stop fast and aljazeera from the cotton forest. Area. Now again im fully back to go with the headlines on aljazeera the us has the most infections in the world corona virus infections that is with more than 50000 cases in the past 24 hours this had its highest single day toll 2108 deaths despite that President Trump continues to expressed optimism. Were seeing hospital admissions declining very substantially as i said a nationwide the number of new cases per day is flattening substantially suggesting that were near the peak and comprehensive strategy is working overtime or guidelines to slow the spread or decreasing the rate of new cases very substantially and will result in fewer hospital admissions and were seeing that its. Incredible i think with with no exceptions its looking like its slow. Out of all Health Organization says governments shouldnt roll back restrictions aimed at containing the coronavirus pandemic too early it says a rate of infection has been snowing in some countries but others are seeing an alarming say much. I know that some countries are already planning the transition out of stay at home restrictions w. H. O. Wants to see distractions lifted as much as anyone i descend time lifting restrictions too quickly could lead to a deadly resurgence the way down can be as dangerous as the way up if not money properly. Brazil the hardest hit nation in latin america has become the latest country to record more than a 1000 deaths from the coronavirus yet president is pushing back against social isolation measures on 5 day he visited a bakery where he got close to supporters and other news chads president says his countrys troops will no longer be taking part in military operations outside its borders it comes after the army ended a major offensive against the armed groups are on which left more than 50 charlie and soldiers dead the worlds top Oil Producing nations have agreed on the need to stop the lies the price of oil which has been hit by the cone of ice pandemic it follows thursdays agreement by opec and its allies to cut Global Production by 10 percent those are the headlines coming up next its talk to aljazeera.
